Little Sister (3) and I have been working on letters and numbers more purposefully lately. In all honesty, I have not worked with her nearly as much as I did with the boys. Perhaps it is “Mommy Burnout”…
Today is Dr. Seuss’s birthday! This idea came to me while I was reading Bartholomew and the Oobleck to Little Sister (3 years old) this morning. This has been one of my boys’ favorite Dr. Seuss books for quite a while…
